India is financing terrorists in Pakistan, Says Pervez Musharaff

As Pervez Musharraf prepared to end his exile of over four years, he criticised India for "orchestrating anti-Pakistan activities" and in the same breath added that he wanted peace between the two countries with his "head and heart".

In an interview to Headlines Today, Musharraf claimed that while India talks about Pakistan grooming terrorists on its soil, it overlooks its own mistakes.

"You (India) split our country into two halves in 1971. Your consulates are involved in anti-Pak activities in Afghanistan. I know you are financing terrorists in Balochistan," the former dictator alleged.

He also said that it was not fair for India to call Pakistan a rogue state. "Both of us (India and Pakistan) are rogues against each other. We've both harmed each other."

Musharraf said if he comes back to power, he will ensure that the taps are turned off on support to terrorists but went on to say that India, too, should stop fomenting trouble in Pakistan.

On the issue of Kashmir, Musharraf said the issue cannot be resolved without a "give and take". India, he said, should be prepared to make sacrifices "just as Pakistan is" to help find a solution to the issue.

Musharraf asserted that this century of geo-economics demands that the two countries resolve their disputes and move ahead. "I am very very clear, the relations between the two countries should be harmonious," he said.

On the reason for his return to Pakistan, Musharraf said he wants to save his country. "I joined politics and formed a party to bring a change. Pakistan is suffering," he said.

I am offering 2-1 odds on him being assassinated within 12 months from returning (yesterday?).

I think 12 months is too far. The capabilities of TTP have far reached. To assassinate him they won't even go back on killing people surrounding him. It will be a suicide blast or a water tanker blast. He is for sure marked. Even Saudia advised him not to go to Pakistan. He has too many enemies- PPP for assassinating BB and PML-N for overthrowing and exiling Nawaz Sharif.

Typical Pakistani election propaganda, he came back for elections and wants votes and how will he get it? Just spew venom and tell conspiracy theories against India. Pakis believe any person who speaks against India whether true or false.

Pervez Musharaf is a clown with big mouth... Going by what he said it proves clearly that He knows something that indicates that Pakistani establishment is hand in glove with the terrorists... Musharaf belongs to the same legacy of Pakistani generals who are well known for their Harakiri [suicidal] acts be it in 65, 71 or very rescently in 99.

This general Musharaf has serve his master USA very well and will do the same if comes to power.
